4.2.4 Electric Data Sheet
The Electric Data Sheet (EDS) is a kind of file recorded all of the necessary information
which is useful while an EtherNet/IP scanner want to access an EtherNet/IP adapter. It is an
important bridge between the variety EtherNet/IP adapters and the configuration tool of the
EtherNet/IP scanner. Through the EDS file, the configuration tool from 3rd parity is able to easily
know that which parameters can be accessed or altered. After setting the parameters of the
GW-7472, an EDS file (
“EDS_GW-7472.eds”) will be created in the same folder of the Utility tool.
